SECTION 8 : RS232 SERIAL INTERFACE 

 

The model 6600-NG is capable of communicating with a PC via the RS232 serial interface. Using this interface 
it is possible to perform all the functions that can be performed using the Remote unit.  Therefore, operation 
of the 6600-NG can be fully automated. 
 
Profiles can be loaded through the RS232 interface.  For more details on Profiles, please refer to Section 4. 
 
The RS232 serial interface is a three-wire interface using the signals RX, TX and GND.  Each byte of data is 
sent or received in ASCII format using 8 bits per byte, with 1 stop bit, no parity at 9600 baud.  
 
The pin-out of the interface is as follows: 
 
 

 

Pin 2 -  Transmit (TX) 

 

 

Pin 3 -  Receive (RX) 

 

 

Pin 5 -  Signal ground (GND) 

 
The baud rate, parity, bits per byte, and number of stop bits cannot be altered and is set to 9600, No parity, 8 
bits and 1 stop bit respectively (9600, N, 8, 1).  
 

8.1 

COMMUNICATION SETUP 

 
On the PC, the COM1 serial port (or any other COM port) or a USB port (configured as a COM port) can be 
used to communicate with the 6600-NG.  If a USB port is used, it is necessary to use an in-line USB to RS232 
converter.  This converter is provided with the 6600-NG.  A RS232 cable (DB9-male to DB9-female) is also 
provided with the 6600-NG. 
 
Connect  the  COM  port  on  the  PC  to  the  RS232  port  on  the  6600-NG,  using  the  cable  (and  USB  to  RS232 
converter) provided.  The RS232 connector is located on the top panel, under a protective cover.  Run a serial 
communication program similar to Hyperterminal on the PC.  Configure the COM port being used on the PC 
to operate at 9600,N,8,1.  Setup Hyperterminal to echo typed characters so you can see what you are entering 
on the PC. 
 
To verify communication, make sure the 6600-NG is operational, then in Hyperterminal, enter the command 
‘PA’  followed  by  the  ENTER  key.    The  6600-NG  will  return  the  Pt  Actual  value.    This  confirms  that  the 
communication between the PC and 6600-NG is functional. 

 
 

8.2 

COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL & COMMANDS 

 

The following are a few details of the communication protocol. 
 

1.

 

All communication between the PC and 6600-NG is in ASCII.
